Lagos State Governor visits "Young shall grow" transport boss in hospital

Lagos State Governor Babatunde Fashola paid chief Vincent Obianodo a visit. The "young shall grow" transport boss was attacked by suspected assassins on Tuesday night August 27th in Festac. He survived the assassination attempt but his police escort and driver were not so lucky. They were killed while Chief Obianodo was hit on the left shoulder

Chief Obianodo said he owed his survival to the bravery of an inspector of Police who fought gallantly to repel the assassins. Simon Ogbueshi, attached to B.OPs, Patrol and Guard at the Lagos State Police command, Ikeja, opened fire on chief Obianodo's attackers, killing two of the suspected assassins.
